Thank you to Lucille’s and our waitress for making my daughters graduation a very special day! It was such a sweet surprise when the waitress handed my daughter a hand signed card from some of the staff members, a chocolate slice of cake and a Lucille’s card . Wonderful service and great food

I started off at the Lucille‘s in Cerritos but due to the bad atmosphere and the poor attention to customer service I drove to this other location .Oh man well worth a drive I come from the Buena Park area. I love Lucille’s. The food service in the atmosphere. Everything was spot on today. I appreciate the service from our server Angelina and the greeting from the manager on duty Rafael

Went for lunch on a Saturday. Was to be 30 min wait to be seated but no wait to sit in the bar area which worked out great. Gluten free menu showed most of th emeats are gluten free as are most of the sides. I had a duel rib combo with fries. All tasted fantastic.

We love their rack ribs, Alabama Chicken, pulled pork, and their biscuits with apple butter! We were all pleased with our orders and we were seated right away with no reservation on a Saturday night. Last but not least, we would like to give a shout out to our server Ryan, thank you for your above and beyond service! You are awesome!

We had a party of 11 and they accommodated us well by giving us private seating. Karen was an amazing host! She was very attentive, allowed our party to sit down before everyone arrived. Daniel was great at being the only one taking orders and patiently handing out our beverages and our appetizers. It was nice to see other servers step up and assist him with serving the plates. Not a huge fan of the food though. The macaroni and cheese was a cheese sauce and almost like a box kind. We were told the brisket was dry prior to us ordering our food from previous customers. The Nashville hot chicken sandwich wasn’t spicy and didn’t have much flavor to it. The fried pickles are delicious. The deviled eggs are like a 3/10. The watermelon drink is super refreshing!

The food was absolutely delightful, with the standout dish being the grilled chicken burger, which was expertly seasoned and cooked to perfection. The portion sizes were generous, ensuring that no one leaves feeling hungry, and the prices were pleasantly reasonable for such quality. The customer service exceeded expectations, with the staff radiating warmth and friendliness, making the dining experience even more enjoyable. Guests have the option to dine in a cozy indoor setting or enjoy the fresh air on a charming outdoor patio. Additionally, ample free parking is readily available, making it convenient for all diners.

We came in on Mothers Day for dinner and Stacy was absolutely amazing in accommodating our family. We kept her on her toes with all of our shenanigans and substitutions! She was a good sport. Absolutely made our day as she was not only attentive but very courteous and pleasant even though she was busy. Thank you Stacy (w/o an “E”).
